House rules for Open For Business

Thanks Motoki, I've now taken out the talkmodule and left the phonehack in.

JM, you're right, but nevertheless my self-imposed punishment is to click away; this way I will be fussier over who my sims make friends with. With the talk-module in, it was anyone and everyone. I notced people commenting on how autosoc/yak was not as easy as before. I've hardly used any of the 'ask' buttons that came with Nightlife or OFB, so it will give me a chance to explore them.

Playlives, JM hasn't listed it seperately in his OFB hacks list. I'll check to see if he's included it in the OFB Maty.

When I loaded up the game there were still more lovely hacks that I had to remove: Christianlov's NPC Visitor Mirror is a godsend: the scheduled sim does all cleaning, gardening and babysitting. My sims home was spotless - and that just can't be right - they've just had natural born quadruplets for godsake!

I'm thinking about taking out the coffeecuphack and the punchcuphack, but that might be taking things too far! I usually play with Inge's buyable bottle, so sadly that has had to go too. I do have Twojeffs perfect plants, but that's purely for landscape issues. My sims can't afford decorative plants anyway - they're too busy growing their own food thanks to Echo and Teresa. The food plants still require watering and picking so I'm happy to leave them in.
